DOUBLE-ROLLER SHADE-BRACKET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented A110'. 27, 1918.

Application led July 11, 1917. i Serial No. 179,939.

To all 'whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, WiLLIAM T. SULLIVAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Double- Roller Shade-Brackets; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and

exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in Window shade brackets, and has for an object to provide an article of this character which may be stamped from a single vblank of sheet material and in such manner as to afford a double mounting whereby two shades 'may be supported from a single bracket at each end thereof.

With the above and other objects of similar nature in view, the invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts set forth in and falling within the scope of the appended claim.

In the drawing Figure 1 is an elevational view of the upper portion of a window casing equipped with my invention.

Fig. Zis a section taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. l, and

Fig. 3 is a detached perspective view of one of the brackets.

Referring now more particularly to the accompanylng drawing, there is shown a portion of a window casing `5 which is equipped with a pair of my improved shade brackets 6, the same bein screwed or otherwise suitably secured to t e casing.

copies oli this patent may bg obtained for ive cents each, by lddressingvthe Specifically each of the brackets 6 is stamped from a sheet metal blank and con# sists preferably of a rectangular body plate 7 provided with openings 8 for receiving the attaching screws, F ormed integrally with adj acentside edges of the plate 7 are divergent arms 9-the same being similarly bentlaterally from the plate and finally bent to extend in a common plane parallel to butin offset relation to the plane of the plate 7 The arms 9 of one of the brackets 6 are provided each with a circular opening 10 for receiving the corresponding trunnion of a shade 11, while the arms of the other bracket are provided with parallel slots in which the other trunnions of Ythe shades are engaged. Thus by attaching the brackets to a window casing Vin the manner illustrated, it is possible to support, with a single pair of brackets, two shades one of which may be of dark and the other of light material as is usual when equipping windows with double shades.

What I claim is A window shade bracket comprising a plate, a right angular bend formed at the top and one side edge of said plate toform oii'set extensions, and ears extending from said extension in parallel relation to the plate Yand at right angles to each other.

In testimony whereof, I aiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM T. SULLIVAN.
